  • SIMATIC PCS 7
  • System redundancy

  • The implemented solution is environmentally sustainable and has given Gallo Glass the desired increase in efficiency and availability.
  • And thanks to system redundancy, Gallo Glass was also able to expand the capacities.
  • As an added bonus, the technologies were developed in such a way that it’s theoretically possible to add two more melting furnaces.
Gallo Glass, established in 1958, is a state-of-the-art highly-innovative glass manufacturer based in Modesto/California, specialized in glass packaging for the wine & spirits industry. The recent 18-month upgrade (2017/18) proved to be a complex task: In addition to a cold furnace repair, it involved expanding and integrating the cullet plant, including the belt loading station.
